The event is technically Warriors TPB-themed since that's our most recent release, but if you bring BITSY AND BOOZLE TELL A STORY or a CRYPTID KIDS or DUNGEON CRITTERS we will also happily sign and sketch in those too 💖✨

Watched the nintendo direct with my wife. When she saw mario pop up on screen at the beginning she said with such venom and rancor 'that is NOT zelda'

Here's a peek into the process: first, I do a round of thumbnail sketches to send in for approval. One gets chosen, and the sketch gets cleaned up, approved, and 'painted' with a series of colors to represent 2 color screentone process. This then gets sent into the Yetee for screentone and printing!

I designed character palettes and color keys for this last year. Really fun and interesting job, also an honor to work with this team. Can't wait to see the final book!
